HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE IN INDIA'S WAR AGAINST COVID-19!
Coronavirus has taken over the globe and every country has been trying to do its best to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and stop it from spreading. Regardless of the planning and the steps the governments might be taking, funds remain a serious issue. So, in order to provide relief to the affected, a public charitable trust under the name of Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) Fund has been set up.
This fund also accepts micro-donations, as a result of which, a large number of people will be able to contribute with smallest of denominations.
PM Narendra Modi has also tweeted about the PM-CARES fund and said micro-donations are also welcome. “It will strengthen disaster management capacities and encourage research on protecting citizens. Let us leave no stone unturned to make India healthier and more prosperous for our future generations,” the tweet states.
It has seen several generous donations from celebrities like actor Akshay Kumar giving Rs. 25 crores and Tata Trusts Chairman Ratan Tata giving Rs. 500 crores. So, here's how you can join the fight and donate to the PM-CARES Fund:
